Awards Categories

 IMPACT 

Sustainability Awards 2022 category - Impact. For Impact nominees, we are looking for sustainability solutions by various types of organizations. May it be a new internal process, product revision, or dropping a feature, it all comes down to the impact. The Impact category has five sub-categories for solutions in areas such as:   

SUBCATEGORIES:

Sustainability Awards 2022 category – Innovation. It's time we realize the potential innovation and technology have when it comes to sustainability.

In this category, we welcome cutting-edge innovations from both sustainability startups and enterprises.
